“The Scott BOA shoe is built around a wide last that gives you a really relaxed fit with tons of room in the toe, which is nicely curved up for the right riding position. Topping that off is a customizable ErgoLogic insole that lets you alter the amount of arch and metatarsal support via small Velcro-attachable inserts.

There’s a little bit of flex in the sole and the lugs are rubbery and tacky so walking about in the Elites is easy, and there’s even some grip on the centre of the sole to grip if you mis-time the cleat engagement.

[...] 

Holding the whole thing together is a Boa/Velcro strap combo that secures well and is easy to slip out of — just pull the release loop to ease some slack from the Boa dial. “

“First things first: the black and orange Elite BOAs look sporty enough to fit in on the start line of a pro level cross-country race, but don't let the racey appearance fool you because they are more comfortable than any ultra stiff and ultra light race shoe we've ever worn, at least in most ways. 

[...] 

Their soles are quite a bit more flexible than a true race shoe, and that makes them easy to walk in with minimal heel lift when you can't quite pedal to the top, and the ' Sticki rubber' lugs really are sticky - we easily strolled up rock slopes in Sedona that had us sliding around like we were on roller blades when wearing other shoes. 

[...] 

We see their ideal user being someone who doesn't want to wear heavy shoes modelled after skate kicks (we are mountain biking, after all, not on fashion parade) and wants something sporty looking and walkable without having you look like you're wearing tap dance shoes.”
